Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance

BOLD STRENGTH (8) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when beaten 2.5 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. TIMING DIFFERENCE (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Has a perfect record over this journey and is among the winning hopes again. JIMMY'S DAILYS (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. SHERIFF BART (3) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a 1609m contest at Churchill Downs Turf last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
